I was told a moving wedding dress…
“I was told a moving wedding dress story(www.pandadress.com/wedding-story.html) today told by my neighbor. She was about 80 years old now. Her hair has been white all over and all of her teeth have gone. When she was a youthful girl, she met and married her husband. In modern times, girls are likely to postpone the wedding to give birth to her toddler daughter and make her as a bridesmaid. Different with now, a bride blushes if she is pregnant or to be an unmarried mother in her times. However, when she got married, she was eight months pregnant, so she wore an enormous chiffon tent, a matching Liberty print-chiffon scarf over head (the wedding was in December, freezing cold and windy) with a sapphire blue cloak and a large bouquet designed to hide the bump, which was her older daughter.”
